I like Jennifer's idea I think that would be very cute. I also thought about using it on the backing, but there is a nice size piece there and you could cover a notebook and make it into a sewing journal.

have you ever seen a tossed 9 patch--saw it done on quilt in a day. you make nine patch blocks, then cut them through the middle into four pieces--any size 9 patch works. then sew back together all mixed up--http://www.carriagequiltshoppe.com/Tossed9Patch.JPGshe had a light color in the middle.
